Bikini Bottom Genetics 2
In this biology worksheet, students use the information given on genetics, Sponge Bob and other characters to complete each of the questions on the sheet. They write the phenotype for each stated trait. Students also determine the...
Curated OER
A Tasteless Tasty Test
Students review the inheritance patterns of simple dominant and recessive traits in humans. They use PTC tasting as a model trait. Each student determines whether or not they are a taster using PTC paper then they compile and discuss the...
Curated OER
What Do Genes Look Like?
Seventh graders describe the basic structure of the DNA molecule. They identify what an inherited trait is and how it can be determined by one or more genes. Finally, 7th graders identify that plant and animal cells contain several...
Curated OER
Genetics
Become familiar with the basic concepts of inheritance. Your junior high students work through mulitple examples of crosses and calculate probabilities of trait occurance. The explain the concept that each parent contributes one half of...
Curated OER
What Should I know for the Test?
A three-page quiz about genetics, which includes Punnett squares, blood types, questions about Mendel and his contributions, and vocabulary comprehension. Use this for a study guide, a pretest/post-test, or a note-taking worksheet in...
Curated OER
Heredity: Your Connection To The Past
Students investigate genetics and the process of reproduction in living organisms.
Curated OER
Genetics Since Mendel
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders describe how two alleles can produce three phenotypes. Then they create a Punnett square showing the possible offspring of red and white cattle. Students also determine the genotypes and phenotype...

Genes and Gene Technology
In this genetics worksheet, students complete 3 short answer, a word puzzle, and 7 word games about genetic traits.
Curated OER
Probability Exercise
Follow fruit fly genetics with this probability activity. Biology scholars analyze the alleles of Bugsy, Daisy, Dino, and Lulu, considering traits for antennae, wing type, and eye color. They solve Punnett squares to determine the...

Genes within Populations
Finally, here is a genetics worksheet that does not include Punnett squares! Designed for a more advanced class, biology learners will compare Lamarck's concept of evolution with Darwin's. They will explore the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium...

Recombination and Pedigrees
Biology aces answer four questions about genetic recombination and nine questions about pedigrees. This worksheet is very focused on these two topics. Most of the pedigree questions relate to the genetic disorders, Alkaptonuria and...

Mendel's Laws of Heredity
In this heredity worksheet, students will use diagrams and informational paragraphs about traits, alleles, and genotypes to complete 3 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Genetics Since Mendel
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders determine whether it is possible for two alleles to produce four genotypes. Then they state how many alleles there are for blood type. Students also determine which blood type is inherited by...
